London + new watercolor painting :)

Map from here

I am back from 2 weeks in London! We had a great time there - amazing place to visit. Lots of art, history and rain. there are only two things I didn't like about London - 1. the rush hour, 2.the food. 

But I am definitely in love with the art (so much of it in London :), the parks, the architecture, the history and the diversity of people...

There are lots of great memories that I've brought back, not only form the art aspect but here I prefer to discuss the art related stuff. 

It's so much for you as an art lover to do in London - 

The National Gallery, Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Estoric gallery of modern Italian art, Courtauld gallery, Victorian and Albert, Royal Academy, National History Museum, NOA18 and more!

Very nice art supplies shops such as Cass Art, London Graphic Center and Fabriano Boutique (fabriano is expensive but interesting).

I saw lots of art highlights such as "Late Turner" and "Consteble - the making of a master" exhibitions.

Some art supplies I got in London  -
Cass Art: Moleskine (watercolour A4), derwent pencils, cass 20 postcards set, sepia derwent pens
London graphic art center: brushes and palette
Fabriano boutique: Quadrato artist's journal (23x23cm) 

The new art books to add to my collection!

Monet paintings with me at Courtauld gallery!

Just trying my new pencils and sepia pens. By the way this little moleskine I bought at the Malpensa airport, Milan, Italy, last year.

So far this vacation was the most educative for me, I've learned so much new aspects of art. Thus it' s great to start in north Italy as I did last year and then to proceed further.

My new watercolor painting - No reference, just me, 300 gsm windsor and newton watercolor paper, brushes and my beloved White Nights Watercolors...

This painting was strongly influenced by the landscapes from north Italy (the lakes), Switzerland artists (Hodler and Bocklin), and the British painters (Constable and Turner) as well.
